In which row 2015 would come?

3 5 consider last element in this row 5 which is (row number)^2+1=(2)^2+1=5
7 9 11 similarly, 11 (row number)^2+1=(3)^2+2=11
13 15 17 19 similarly, 19 (row number)^2+1=(4)^2+3=19
21 23 25 27 29 similarly, 29 (row number)^2+1=(5)^2+4=29
consider 44th row=(44)^2+43=Last element is1979.So, 2015 can't be in this row.
consider 45th row=(45)^2+44=Last element is 2069.So, 2015 will be in this row.
So, 2015 will be in 45th row. - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(43) No(0)
- 45th row
let the total number of digits be n
then 2015=1+(n-1)2 or n=1006
let 2015 comes in 'm' th row
now, 1st row contains 1 digit, 2nd row contains 2 digits, 3rd row contains 3 digits and so on
and also sum of all digits in rows from 1 to m is 1008
in other words 1008 is the sum of first m natural numbers
therefore,
m(1+m)/2=1008
m^2+m-2016=0
m=44.4
so, 2015 comes in a row which is just after 44th row, i.e.,45th row - 9 years agoHelpfull: Yes(5) No(0)
- n(n+1)/2 gives 44*45/2=990...then 1+(990-1)*2=1979 is the starting element..the row ll hold 1979+44 elements..so its on 44th row..
